Thanks for posting that show Arch! Some of my favorite concerts have been NIN shows. Never can go wrong buying a ticket to go see Reznor perform. I haven't had a chance to view much of it yet but will this weekend.

Listened to Flotsam and Jetsam's No Place For Disgrace on the way home from work tonight. I sometimes only break out some of my older metal cds in spurts but always reminded how much I love those bands especially from '87 to '89 as there were a ton of really solid cds to come out........ Flotsam's NPFD, Nuclear Assault's Survive and Handle With Care, Suicidal Tendencies' Join the Army and How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today and Controlled by Hatred/Feel Like Shit...Déjà Vu, Sanctuary's Refuge Denied, Fates Warning's No Exit and Perfect Symmetry, Anthrax's Among the Living and State of Euphoria, Slayer's South of Heaven, 3 King Diamond cds, and the list really can go on and on. It's amazing how much good shit came out between '87 and '89.

There will probably only be a few who care about this news but I'm fucking happy......The Verve Pipe is releasing their first cd in eight years. Sounds like it will be available for shipping October 9 from their website and hopefully in stores soon after. I really love the band. Every cd except the last one was pretty awesome.

So this morning we woke up at our delightful Marriot Courtyard hotel (priceline, get into it) and walked outside to get in the van to head to Chicago for our second show of the tour. Only problem, it isn't there. Either someone is pulling some Merlin crap on us and just waiting for the perfect moment to unveil it and calm our shot nerves, or a talented scumbag stole our van and trailer with literally everything we own inside. Needless to say, we're crushed. Our most beloved instruments are gone, and trust me, we're gear nerds. After a great deal of scrambling and deliberation, we found a way to stay on tour, after a few days off to get some gear and a rental van together. Having something like this happen is the worst thing that can happen to any band short of someone dying, and we're incredibly stoked to finish this tour with Billy Talent and play every night doing what we love. Our most sincere thanks to everyone who offered to help us in any way, our friends mean the world to us and everyone who has reached out today is absolutely mind blowing.

Finally got around to listening to the new Alice in Chains. Meh. The first few tracks start off strong, but after a while, the songs all start to sound the same. Just about every song has the same slow tempo which makes a 54 minute album sound like it's about 4 hours long. Not to mention their new singer can suck my dick. 6/10
